006; Video

[ This video is coming directly from the Mayor's office in Maurtia Falls -- Baelish seated at his fancy desk with the communicator propped up in order to keep his hands free. ]

It's been some time since I addressed the network. My apologies for being absent as of late. I've been working on a few projects for Maurtia Falls, which I am excited to be able to finally announce.

My political stance has always been geared toward education and business. If we could improve both of these aspects of the city, I believe Maurtia Falls could grow into less of a center for criminals to thrive and more of a place for socioeconomic growth. So, over the next year -- we will be working on building the Maurtia Falls Community College. With affordable tuition and a wide variety of programs, I believe this will be an excellent place for not only children in the city to further their education -- but adults as well.

[ Baelish opens up a folder, as he says the next part. ]

Secondly, as many of you well know -- and many of our newest arrivals will learn, Maurtia Falls will not win any prizes for its safety. And there seems to be a pattern that whenever things hit -- they tend to hit Maurtia Falls either first or hardest. As a result...

[ He holds up a diagram -- a rough blue print for upcoming plans. ]

I've decided to begin construction on an underground shelter for the city and its residents. This shelter will be utilizing the latest technology to ensure safety, stability, and comfort. The immediate plan is to get it built and operational within the year. At this time, the bare minimum should be completed and it will be operational. But there are plans in the works to expand it beyond being a simple shelter. For example, creating a garden system so it could continuously generate food and a network of tunnels so people can be safely evacuated. These expansions will obviously take longer than a year's time, but I do hope many of us will be around to see them happen. If you have any further questions about this project, or you wish to get involved in it to help expedite the process, do let me know.

[ The diagram is set down and he glances at his watch. He's always been accused of talking way too much, so he's trying to keep this timely! ]

Lastly, I was curious -- would there be interest if I were to do a monthly town hall meeting for imPorts to bring up their issues in Maurtia Falls or to address problems in the community as a whole? I feel as though we do not have too many opportunities to come up with solutions as a group, and I personally would like to do what I can to bring community to this city.

[ He reaches out to shut off the communicator and then pauses as he realizes he had forgotten something else. ]

Oh. And this is truly the last thing -- I have lost a good majority of my imPort staff to port outs. If anyone has interest in working for the mayor's office, many positions are open. Contact me directly for an interview.

[ And now he actually goes to shut off the device. Or he thinks he does -- instead capturing one final thing. A soft sigh of relief. ]

There. Under twenty minutes. I would say that's a personal best, would you not agree?

[ There's a mockingbird chirp of agreement off screen. Baelish gets up, grabs a rather large bag of birdseed and takes out a handful to lay on the desk. A few mockingbirds take over the camera view, chowing down. One of them happens to see himself in the viewfinder on the communicator and starts to get a bit enamored with itself -- pecking at the screen. After a few seconds of this, the video feed goes dark. ]

[Sinjir would be lying if he said he had any interest at all in Maurtia Falls civic improvement, but he certainly does have an interest in changing jobs—let's be real, he's not cut out to be a furniture mover, especially not one who's forced to use spiders to get the job done. (Don't ask).]

What do these staff positions entail, exactly?
pickledturncoat: (waiting)

[personal profile] pickledturncoat 2018-06-17 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[And then there's the difficulty of explaining one's job skills without actually coming out and mentioning torture and exploiting a person's weaknesses...]

I have a background in government security. Perhaps we could get together and discuss the particulars?

[Not that he's expecting this job to be like that one of course.]

[Violet hair, violet irises, Maldon accent. All natural.]

I can offer my assistance with the shelter, or your office, or both. I live in the city myself too, so, you don't have to convince me it needs help -- and all of it that it can get.

[And, oh right—]

I'm Elizabeth Braddock. I answer to every variation of the name besides 'Liz' or 'Lizzie'. I killed a man once for that.

[A beat.]

Just kidding.

[Maybe.]

That was pretty quick.

How can I help best? Funding? Moving people?

What sort of positions are you looking to fill?

[ Logan's been a fairly regular sight around the Iron Throne since his port in, and now here he is, innuendo-ing at the proprietor at last. He's clearly still delighted that the mayor owns the strip club. ]

You are busy as always, Lord Baelish. And your ideas are always welcome too.

If I can help with anything, let me know.

pickledturncoat: (friendly)

[personal profile] pickledturncoat 2018-06-18 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
In that case, you definitely need look no further.

[King of the sassy bastards, this one.]

That would be ideal, thank you.

I've never done such a thing before in my life! But my ability is botanokinesis, granting me the power to force and control the growth of plants, so I believe I could be of help anyway.

Well, christ, isn't the dream to do everything with no budget in sight? Polishing is about all we can do half the time.

In what direction would the funding work best? The shelter, I assume?

Actually, I do, but I don't think they are meant to be brought up in a town hall meeting.

I want to redo the imPort prison sentencing and handling of the criminal imPorts.

[ She's not really interested in local politics in a city where she doesn't currently live, and working in politics seems like the worst. So, skipping past most of his message here. Sorry. ]

Mayor Baelish? I've heard a lot about you.

Hey, old fashioned can be useful -- I won't throw shade.

I'm a telekinetic-telepath with extensive martial arts and weaponry, plus piloting training. In short— there's not a lot I can't do, even less in the categories of things that I've never done, and my relationship with the 'won't do's' list is negotiable.

[How many sides of the morality scale is she on a first name basis with? ALL OF THEM. There's always the right things for the wrong reasons, the wrong things for the right reasons, the right things for the right reasons, and the wrong things for the wrong reasons ... and any other mixture you can throw in there. She's been them all and done them all -- all multiple times over, of course. And clearly not afraid of making a statement that some might call bold.]

What I would enjoy doing is not sitting on my ass and instead being a productive imPort and resident of the city. So, consider me versatile in that if you've got a spot that can use those skills, I'm happy to fill in.

Don't mistake this! Science is the basis for this, and if the system is to be self-sustaining, then I must conform to natural walls... the plants must be supplied with nutrients and light in sufficient measure, for instance. But I can make the process quicker, and probably engineer some plants that will especially flourish under our specific conditions!

As for work, I've been getting by, but perhaps you have something interesting to offer me?
